Abstract

We report a case of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) acquired in Israel. This very unusual presentation of CL was caused by Leishmania major in an immunocompetent foreign worker from Thailand. CL is an emerging skin infection in travellers and immigrants with a varied, and possibly misleading, clinical presentation.
